Constitution : The fundamental legal document according to which the government of a country functions. This contains the basic laws or set of rules which define the main organs and their jurisdiction as well as the basic rights of the citizen.

The State

• Civil rights are given to the individual by the state.

Explanation:

Civil rights are the basic rights and freedoms that individuals have in society. They are designed to protect individuals from discrimination and ensure their equal treatment and opportunities. The question asks who grants these rights to individuals, and the correct answer is the state. Here's why:

• The state: Civil rights are typically established and protected by laws and regulations enacted by the state. Governments create laws and establish institutions to safeguard civil rights and ensure their enforcement.


• Legislation: The state passes legislation, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Civil Rights Act, which outlines and protects the rights and freedoms of individuals.


• Enforcement: The state is responsible for enforcing these laws and ensuring that individuals' civil rights are respected and protected. This includes establishing law enforcement agencies, judicial systems, and other institutions to address violations and provide remedies.


• Amendment: Civil rights can also be expanded or modified by the state through the amendment of existing laws or the creation of new legislation. This allows for the recognition and inclusion of additional rights or the adjustment of existing ones to reflect societal changes.

While nature, God, and the people may be sources of inspiration or influence for the concept of civil rights, it is ultimately the state that grants and protects these rights through legal frameworks and institutions.

What is meant by the term 'constituency'?
A constituency refers to a specific area or region from where voters elect a representative to the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha. It is an essential concept in the democratic electoral system. Here are the key points to understand about constituencies:
1. Definition: A constituency is a geographically defined area that represents a specific group of voters who have the right to elect a representative to a legislative body.
2. Representation: Constituencies ensure that every region or area is represented in the legislative body. Each constituency has its own representative who acts as a voice for the concerns and interests of the people in that particular area.
3. Electoral Process: During elections, voters from a constituency cast their votes to elect a candidate who will represent their interests and concerns. The candidate who receives the highest number of votes becomes the elected representative for that constituency.
4. Delimitation: Constituencies are often delimited or redrawn periodically to ensure fair representation based on population changes. This process is carried out by an independent authority to maintain equal representation among constituencies.
5. Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha: In India, constituencies are primarily associated with the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) and Vidhan Sabha (the state legislative assembly). Each state is divided into different constituencies, and voters from each constituency elect their representatives to these bodies.
In conclusion, a constituency is a specific area from where voters elect their representatives to the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha. It ensures fair representation and gives people the opportunity to choose their leaders based on their concerns and interests.

Thinking is the base of all cognitive activities or processes and is unique to human beings. It involves the manipulation and analysis of information received from the environment.

• There are different kinds of thinking styles which include creative, logical, concrete thinking, etc. Creative thinking aims at novelty in the first instance rather than truth.
• It necessarily has to be different from the conventional modes of thinking. It is labeled in psychology as divergent thinking which refers to a way of solving problems by more than one approach.

Key Points

Some of the ways to promote creative thinking are:

• Asking students to raise questions instead of requiring them to answer questions teachers pose
• Asking students to observe the everyday world around them and raise questions about it
• Asking them to identify suitable problems. where they can apply their knowledge
• Adopting the discovery model of teaching wherever this is possible, offering successive clues to the answer to orient them to lateral thinking

Hence, it could be concluded that asking students to observe the everyday world around them and raise questions about it should be followed by teacher to foster creative thinking.

Hint

• Lateral thinking: Edward de Bono who originated the concept of lateral thinking says that it is made of a set of specific techniques that promote creative problem-solving. It is the generation of alternative ways of looking at the same phenomenon or problem.

• It is a form of self-directed learning in which learners take more responsibility for determining what they need to learn, identifying resources and how best to learn from them, using resources and reporting their learning, and assessing their progress in learning.
• Learning is based on the direct experiences of the learner which makes content easier to comprehend.
• It develops the ability of learners for experimentation.
• Enquiry approach uses multiple senses of the learner therefore it helps learners to understand the concepts more clearly and retain them for a longer period of time.

Thus, it is concluded that Enquiry method strategy the teacher is using in the class.

• The practice of tantric Buddhism was introduced to the people of Tibet by Padmasambhava, a founder of the Nyingma tradition, one of the oldest schools of the four major Tibetan Buddhism schools.

• The tradition covers several distinct lineages that trace all their origins to Padmasambhava. He is regarded as the founder of Samye Gompa, the country's first monastery.

• Nyingma tradition was practised among a loose network of lay practitioners orally. Monasteries with celibate monks and nuns and the practice of the reincarnated spiritual leaders are later adoptions. Its lineage has been centred in Kham in eastern Tibet in modern times.

Justification:

• These are jiva, ajivaa, astikaya, bandha, samvara, nirjana and moksa. Substances like a body, which exist and envelope (like a cover), are astikaya.

• Anastikayas like 'time' have nobody at all. The substance is the basis of attributes (qualities).

• The attributes that we find in a substance are known as dharmas. Jains believe that things or substance have attributes.

• These attributes also change with the change of Kala (time). From their point of view, the attributes of a substance are essential and eternal or unchangeable.

• Without essential attributes, a thing cannot exist. So, they are always present in everything.

• For example, consciousness (chetana) is the soul's essence; desire, happiness and sorrow are its changeable attributes.
